~rrrting ~ FTER an elapse of two years the GEM OF THE MOUNTAINS again makes ..:;\, its appearance. The preparation has been attended with some difficulties and many pleasures. The pleasures have all been our own- the difficulties have been shared by others. We have endeavored to the best of our auihty to make the volume of general interest to those to whose memories reminiscences of college life is dear. There is no one feature for which we feel disposed to commend this volume to the readers, unless it be the partial success in presenting a record of the intercollegiate contest of the University. We desire at this time to thank those who have so generously and kindly lent assistance to our efforts. We wish to express our special debt to Guy and Rowe Holman, James Brinnon, Gwendolyn Black, Sydroe Reeves and Aubrey Lawrence for drawings and designs; to Merril Yothers, a former school-mate, and others for literary contributions.

The University 'l'lwre art' now perhaps no students in the institution who attended the University of former days when all that the small faculty had to ofTer was a large campus, a fraction of a building and an abundance of promises. llut so splendidly have promises been fulfilled and hopes realized that we arc encourag-ed to anticipate still g-reater achievements in the futnrc. ( lnr growth has been typical of the \\'est- the young- \\'est- when.: activity and carnestness and optimism arc the charactcristics of all succes!'.ful enterprises. •\nd because the \\'est is young our prugre>'s h:b po~sibly not bcen s~ mmetrical but it has neYertheless not l' een incon-.,!stent. If certain departments o f the college have seemed to be entirely neglected while other departments ha\'e received a large measure of attention the situation j, not at all 'abnormal. It is the habit of all growing things to clcn·lop some part!'. more rapidly than others. \\'e shall be satisfied if some day when we can boast more than twelve ycars of life for her. our clear Alma \latcr ~hall he recognized as a mature Vnin·r~ity. In that day when our habits of thought ... hall han• cl:angcd with the actual enlarging of the• collcgc perhaps we shall begin to develop more of the• ~taidncss and con~e·rvati>'m which arc so noticably present in eastern institutions. Hut thcre• will always be an es,cntial difference. Surely environment counts for much in every life. and if it does then as long as old \ l ount \losco\\ faces the l'nivcr::;ity, as lc ng as green orchards and golden wheat fields spread abou t o!>. as long- as we breathe the air wafted across to us from the pmey woods may we kt•ep a measure of the genuineness. the enthu::;iasm, t J.c in ckpenckncc. which -:rc tht• heritage of the childru1 o f the Great \\' e~t!

ADMINISTRATION BUILDING

The "Ad" The main building or the "Ad" as the students affectionately call it, is, of cours<.', the center of college activity. It is not to be expected that the scenes enacted there will vary much from one year to another, but a few changes have been made this year which may be worth noting. 'Phe pr<.'paratory students have mounted from one plane of wisdom to ~nÂ other until now prep hall is on the third floor. At that rate of ascension there is every likelihood that with the next spring thev will be on the roof. The room formerly occupied by the preps has been converted into a reading room. Here the freshmen can chew gum and ''rite notes without being disturbed by the prosey seniors who prefer to have at least the appearance of loving learning, by loitering near the bookshelves in the library. The Regents have forseen a great peril \\ hich hung- over us and have attempted to remove it. There was a possibility that ~imultaneously two first year boys (a small estimate) might be burning "Âˇith love for their adored ones; two debating societies having a heated discussion, three pianos playing "The Storm"; and two radiators giving off heat, (who ever dreamed that two radiators could be warm at once?) but supposing such strange coincidences as these should happen, a conflagration on the third floor would be imminent. Therefore the Regents ordered fire escapes to he added to the building at once. Such improvements as these making, as they do, very slight changes, are permissablc provided that the building itself is !eft unaltered. Should any of us return to our Alma Mater in after years, (and may such frequently be the case) we shall expect to see many strange buildings on the campus; but we shall also hope to find one staunch old unchanged friendthe "Ad."

SCHOOL OF MINES

The School of Mines The School of :\1 ines was created by a n:~olution of tht• Board oi Regents during the ) car 1893-4· Because of the great wealth of tlw stale in minl'rals and the consequent demand for minin~ engineers the ·kpartment soon !lad a large tnrollment which has steadily increased until at the present tinw on e-li fth of the male students of the Cni\·ersity arc rcgis~ercd for this rour"e. Tht• course in mining at the C"niven;ity is broad and includes all of the esYet the "cntial subjects and the pre-requisites of successful t·ngineering. course dm·s not include an: of the non-essentials. hut ~tnd" always to make the graduall's dncit·nt and capable mining engineers. · That thc) an: such is attested h: the po:-itinns which they hold throt•ghout thc country. <)ne reason for the cflicil·ncy of the graduates of this departll'lllt i..; 11 c fact that the t·our..;c in mining is constantly adju~tul to n:eet the rapid!) ch;mging conditions of the mining indu,.tr).

The Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

,.,. Jn accordance with the provisions of the various act, establi!\hing the University, the Rt•gents in ] une, 15)01, established the Department of l\1echanical and Electrical Engineering. Little more than the assig-nment of quarters for the work was done during the following year. In .\ugust, 1902, Profes<:Or S. R. Sheldon, of the Cniversity of \\'isconsin, was secured as Professor of the Department, and in September of that year a cour:;e was formerly organized with five freshmen, two sophomores and one senior re~•stered. Equipment has been constantly added as the funds were a\·ailable and the facilities arc now quite adequate for the con~uction oi a thorough course in this department of techaical training. \\.ith the erection of the ~I ining Laborator) more floor space will be available for this dcpartmC'lt. The business world is constantly demaPding men who ha' e not only a practical knowledge of the construction and operation c..f machinery but those also who have a thorough understanding of t!1e principks and laws governing machiPer). If men are to cope with new problems they mthl have a thorough theoretical knowledge to supplement their practical l':-.pericncLs. Electrical Engineering especially is widening and reaching ever to tl.e unexplored fields. The general plan of the course is to prepare the student for these requirements. It aims to give the theoretical principles, and supplementing this, makes application of the principles in actual practice. The theorectical work is of prime importance in affording mental discipline. The practical broadens and makes more tangible the conception of the truths taught. \Vith thC$e considerations in Yiew the course has bel:n planned. Throughout the four years, the student applies in the shops, in the drafting room, and in the laboratories, the principles studied in the class room.

The Department of Civil Engineering One of the first departments included in the regular work of the University was that of civil engineering. At the outset the instruction was meager, due in great part to the lack of apparatus for the training in the work. Theoretical instruction was given, but this requires, in the courses of engineering, a supplementing by practical work with the necessary field instruments. At first also there were no students prepared for the technical work. •\s the demand increased, and as the funds for tl>is department became a\'ailable. the department was supplied with equipment. •\t the present time the equipment i~ complete enough to illustrate the work of ci,•il engineering in all its usual fora1s. This includes a full set of Field Instruments, Tc:>ting Laboratory. Drafting Room Supplies and eqmpment. books, etc. The work of the course is thorough, and the stude!tt is expected to do the work which is usually required at any of the recogmzcd ~.chools of the country. \ \'ith this thoroughnes,.; on the part of the stuJct1t then.: can be no difficulty to the graduate in making rapid advancement in th<:ir cho:;(.n profcs~ion. 'fhe f1rst male graduates of the lJniversit) were students of the Civil Engineering Department. The total number of graduates receiving the degree B. C. E. is eleven. These a re holding responsible positions througl,oul thi'> section of the Korthwest and arc doing satisfactory work.

AGRICULTURAL FARM

Agricultural College

,, Tn the one hundred and twelfth year of the independence of the United State~. there was established an Agricultural College in connection with the University of Idaho. The following is the process of wisdom-getting at ~h.• Agri~.:ultural College: The student enters the first year (provided he has formerly absorbed sufficient

knowledge in divers branches) and is called fresh. :\fter he has learned all he can about live-stock-raising, feeding, etc., he arrives at the dignified sophomore stage and begins to study soils. \\'hen he has karned what land produces onions best and what is best for hog pasture he may proceed to gain the rest of the knowledge which a successful farmer must possess. J le learns how to treat sick live-stcck and di!'ea!'cd trees: he is taught tLt best arrangement of buildings and fields: he is impressed with the ;,wful trutlt!' that ht• must neither build his IH,use '' llh the back to the highways nor plo'' hi-. fields wrong side up. 1.l aving mastered all these problems and secured !li-. sheepskin, the young man may seck a wi fc. The t•quipments for the college are scattered ior almost a mik . •\class room and laboratory arc in the .-\<!ministration Building; in tl e annl'x arc a butter and cheese factory, testing rooms and stor(' rooms: \rhilc a farm of ninety- four acres lies about twenty-five hmdred feet from the campus. ( )n this farm are buildings !'uitablc for the work required. l Jere the stud,·nt may put his learning into practice, for which he receives pay; al'd whik he rardully hoes around the weeds, he may commune with nature to hi.:; heart's content. Farmers' institutes and short courses are al!'o hrld m connl·ction with the college. For tho:;e who have not had the adv::mtage of att<.:nding an a~ricul tural school, these meetings, where practical and economic nwthods arc discussed, arc exceedingly helpful.

HORTICULTURAL BUILDING

Horticultural Department The Horticultural Department has been a part of the University since its first days and has steadily grown with the rest of the institution. Under the direct supervision of the head of the department the campus is receiving the necessary trees, shrubbery and numerous flower beds to render it an Eden of the Bitter Root :\fountains. Students of this d\!partmt-nt not only gain a knowledge of herb life, but also a sense of beaut), art and :-ymmetry is cultivated. The theoretical knowledge gained in the cia..;-. room i" strengti1ened by practical training in the decoration of the campus. The.! many works of art mastered by the classes in horticulture arc visible to all who Yisit the campus, The unique and decoratiYe little flower beds which adorn the campus arc the work o£ this department. There is also opportunity for experimental research 111 this course. :\ t the present time there arc some interesting investtgations IKing made. There arc efforts to produce a pear immune to blight. a sweet corn, a smooth tomato which will matun• hcf01 t' frost and an Indian corn that "ill mature in a single night. The latter e:xperimmt l:as pron·d paniall~ -..uc.:t·,-siul. One crop of the corn has actually been culti,·ated. the corn w<t-.. planted in the eYening and the head of the dq>artment gathered the matt,n·d stock~ the next morning. ~lany other interesting experiments are being conductt•<l. The work of the department is not confitwd exclusively to the immediate vicinity but is extended· throughout the state. 'l'hc veget,ttion of the entire state is carefully studied and in this way the department i:; enabled from time to time to publish reports which are useful and tnstructivc to the farming population of the state.

ARMORY AND GYMNASIUM

The Armory and Gymnasium The !;tudents arc this year happy over the possession of a new Armory and Gymnasium. Certain!) it has been needed! Think of our boys being expected to break the world's records with no place save the garret of the Administration Building in which to do the winter training; and fancy the girls of the P. T. A. doing their basket ball practice and other little stunts in fear and trembling on the upper floor of the Mining Building-being reminded always by their dear teacher that they have promised to be "very careful that no plaster is jarred from the walls." And imagine the horror of a young and unprotected maiden when she enters the ground floor of the Administration Buildmg some stormy noon, only to distinguish through the gloom the measured tread of many feet, the rattle of musketry and the glitter of steel, and suddenly to find the guns of an entire army leveled upon her! Of course she usuall) screams and the soldiers grin,-which assures her at once that they arc mere men and not ''warriors bold." flut the end of all these blood-curdling ~ccnc!-- is at hand. \\'c have our Gym and we hope soon to have some apparatu<.. In 1903 the legislature granted an appropriation of $25.000.00 for an Armor) and Gymnasium. Everyone who was in schcol that day when the telegram was received remembers the exciting times. •\ quarter holiday was declared and all the students went down town to demon,;trate to the natives by means of hand music, 'Yarsity yells and baml.~n; that college people arc a most appreciative cla~s of human beings. Tn :\Ia) 1904 the contract for the \\·ork was awarded and work was pushed to a completion. The building is to the northwest of the \dministration Building about seventy yards. It is a commodious structure 120 by 70 feet, buill of red pressed brick having a basalt basement and trimmed with granite. l n the basement arc the baths, locker rooms and the military drill rooms together with equipment storage rooms. The offices and main hall arc on the first floor. On the upper floor arc the reception rooms, galkry and the running track. 'Dhe interior finish is plain-even severe-imposing upon on~ its massiveness and stability. From our University have gone athletes and military men to many parts of the world, and some of them have won such laurels that we ha vc quite forgiven them for racking our nerves by giving us a miniature earthquake every evening when they Rock to the little gym in the attic and when ,hey were drilling in the basement of the "Ad." If the boys have gained such honors under previous inaclcCJUatc conditions, is it not to be feared that with our new Armory and Gymna!5ium we shall weep in vain for other worlds to conquer? 27

RIDENBAUGH HALL

Ridenbaugh Hall 'l'ht· State l.egislaturc of

1901

made an appropnallon for a girls' dormitory

at the l"nivcrsity. ft was a generous gift fwm the taxpayers of the state to the young women of Idaho. The building was erected in UJ02 and dedicated to, and named in honor of. ~1 rs. ~ [ary E. Riden haugh, ,·ice-pre!'ident oi the Board of Regents. This ''as a fitting- testimonial to th e actin.~ interest taken by her in the accomplishmtnt of this object. The hall ,,·~~:-. opt•twd in .\pril of the ~ame yt>ar. and it~ comforts. cheerful ;;urrounding-,; and pleasant homelike lift• have brought many young women unckr its dir.-<"t inlhtl'net•. Om· of the pleasant features connected with the dormitory is the .. Ridenbaugh Reading Club," which ,,·as formed in '\o,·emlwr. 1~02. The object of the club 1:-. that it should repre-;(nt the intellectual iiil· oi the Jlall. Each member i~ a~se":-.ed a small amount annually and thi:-. iuncl i..; u..;t•d for subscription~ to current periodicals. Se\'eral contributions of honb t,a,·e he~:n made to the lihrary,- chidl_\ by ~lrs. Ridenbaug-h. Thos<.. who are familiar with dormitory life under"tand that, if rightly directed, it become~ one of the most helpful influences in a .\ oung woman's education. By the con!'tant association with others the individual view point is extendt•d; we become more thoughtful of the opinions oi our nl'ighbors; take a keener interest in one another's joys and sorrows; Decome observant of the little courtesies of everyday life which mean so much; and unconsciously learn many things not found in books. that will broaden our minds, strengthen our characters and make us worthy of being counted true colkge won,cn.

D omestic Science Department Domestic economy is one of the broadest of sciences ~in ce it tncludes cvery' thing that is necessary for the formation of a well ordered home. It might be interesting to give a brief history of this science as taught in our Uni vcrsity. In the fall of 1902, the Domestic Science Department was established as a permanent branch of the Vniversity. Th~ work began in a little twelve by fourteen room in the back part of Ridcnbaugh Hall. Notwithstanding the fact that the room was small and dark and the equipment very limited, there were forty-six who registered for the course. There were five classes formed and enthusiastic and efficient work was <lone. In ~larch, 1903, the seventh session of the legi.;lature made an appropriation of two thousand five hundred dollars to the advancement oi this work. In the fall of that year the department moved into the dormitory gymnasium and modern equipment was procured. \\'it!1 larger quarters and increased advantages came more satisfactory instruction and the dc路partmcnt was enabled 31

to take up the waitress work. This included the ~en·ing of luncheons and dinners which ha,·e pro,·ed the practical value of the study. In proof of the real econo:11Y taught and practiced in this department it is suffic1et1t to cite the fact that the expcn~c;; ior llP3-·04 were only two hundred and twent,·-fi,·e dollars. This amount includes not onh· the cost of material for class work 'but also the cost of the several luncheon:; mi"d dinners . . \gain we have outgrown the equipment, and this year the lcgislatu:-e has provided for future needs by an appropriation of twelve thousand dollars with ,,·hich to erect a Domestic Science llall. \\ ith the increased facilities it is hoped that more branches of the work may b-: 2clded. induding ~ewing, laundry ,,.o,·k, home nu~sing. sanitation, home decora~i< n a!Hl all which rertains to the making of an ideal home. A thorough course in this science iii one of 1he new college ideals and the enivcr~ity of Idaho may justly feel proud that it is the first L'nivcrsity in the l\ortlmcsl to offer this cour;;e in its curriculum. l'ntil recent \'cars it has been con!-iclcrccl that the home and school had lilt le 111 common. but 'now people have come to realize the connection between the r•Jllcg<.' an.l the home. .\ college j., ~upposed to prepare indiYicluals for life. \\ hy th<.'n in~ist on young women haYing only a mere theoretical education? Tf it he true a l'aticn n~n~r ri..,es above the ~tatus of it~ women then her statu~ ~hould he rais<.'li ll\· a broad education in all which pertain;; to an attractin·. intellectual and refinl·(l home \Ye firmly belie\'e that a ~trcng factor in bringing ahout this new ~ducational ideal is the "tml~ of Don'e~tic · Fccnomy.

The College of Liberal Arts llfllf

The College of Liberal Arts offers two courses; one leading to the degree of Bachelor of t\ rts and the other to the degree of Rachcior of Science. These are essentially the courses of culture. They give a broad, !')'Stematic and foundation training which is necessary for successful specialization in any educational work. The course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Scitnce offers a splendid opportunity for scientific investigation. A student who has once felt the fascination for chemistry, the never-ending wonder of chemical combinations, the <ielight of being able to analyze substances will wish to continue in independent investigations. From this he will learn to think for himself, tc reason from cause to effect, and to form conclusions from given data. The enthusiastic lover of botany sees new beauties in the world of nature, and learns the relationship of flowers or plants and the history of different forms of vegitation. Physics and Zoology each opens up a new world ::>f thought to the earnest student. The Scientific course i5 most Yaluable for its traming in careful, accurate investigation and for the spirit of scientific inquiry it fosters. The course leading to the degree of Bachelor of . \rts il'> pre-eminently the culture course. The study of language. which is the characteristic feature. ill valuable for several reasons. First. it opens up to the student the life and literature of other times and nations. The best translation is but an imperfect eliort ro transfer the thoughts of one people into a correspor~ding form in another. whereas, if one learns a language, even imperfectly, much of the heauty of style, the delicate shades of meaning will be apparent. Besides this arsthetic benefit there is the gymnastic value of conscientious study of ancient languages, for it is undeniable that many masterpieces are written in thtsc difficult languages. No student of literature can afford to slight modern languages, not only because of the masterpieces already written in them but a lso because they arc spoken languages. This line of study exercises a potent charm which ntakes one wish to read still more and study still farther. There is also the historic value to this course, for the history and customs of a people arc interwoven with its writings. Either of these courses offers a large range of electives in the other ami t;IUS permits a COmbination of the two. Jn adrJition there is a broad field of required and elective work in English, :M athematics, History and Economics. .-\ judic1ous selection of the studies and subjects ofiercd in these courses presents a training, the value of which is self-evident. To all who are not compelled to prepare for their chosen profession in a very limited time these courses appeal as being highly advantagcom and essential to success.

D epartm ent of Music \\'ith the coming of Professor l. ]. Cogsw~ ll , in 1?93. piano ~tudy was made an adjunct to the L'niversity courses. but it "a-; not u nti l the following year that credits were given for work in piano and harmony study. Sine<.' 1&)7 diplomas of proficiency have beln awarded to students doing a required amount of work :n these branches. The School of M ustc, which offers coun=es m Piano. Thl'Ory and Llis tory of ~fusic with branches from the .\. B. courses and which leads to the degree ot Bachelor of ~I u:-.ic, was created in I29<J路 This degree was first con fcrred upon ~lax Garrett in 1901. This year there arc a large number of stmknts n'gistered for the course and much interest is manifested. Great credit is due to the untiring and ~fficient efforts of the head of the department for the wonderful success of the department. Through his influence abo, it was that the music clubs and societies were organized. lt is expected that in the near futme courses in violin and voice wili be offered. T hose cou rses which arc now offered ar<! consistent with the age of the wllegc and arc as thorough as any offered at any other w llegc of like facil ities. \ Vith the addition of courses in violin anrJ voice the l\lm; ( Department will h ~ nnexcelled.

Great souls. while yet the morning dews of life Refreshed your day. and made your pathway bright. Your own loved country called; you answered. ''Here''. You left behind all things we hold so dear. And went. where are unknown our Cod and art. And sacrificed a mind and heart, Amidst the fevers of a southc1 n clime, And left, what should be for all time. The blessing of the ages, in the sod . Your souls in peace abiding with your Cod. \\'e cannot do the things you might have cione; \Ve cannot run the course you might have run: \\' e may not reach like you the heights of fame: But we can place in stone each sorrowed name. And honor still the lives recorded here, \\'hose memory grows still dearer with each year.

The mines of the north and south gave up their most precious gems; from out the waving grain fields stalked many golden sheaves : the sage brush plains of the south harvested their earliest and choicest fruits. 'l'hese were collected on the campus. It \\as no unusual sight and yet uncommon. Actuated by the same desire, those big whole hearts were soon united in their common purpose. \\' e were f rl'shmen. and no college can e\'Cr boast of better. \\' e grew to be spohomores, although we did not receive the recognition we deserved. The record of our Junior year is one which no class will ever dare to follow. The memoir of our senior year is almost completecl. Future generations will read it as a model of honor and dignity. Every department of college acti,路ity is indelibly stamped by us. \\'e organized and, under our direction, made possible the band. The orche~tra is one of our creations and developed under our leadership.

Sophomores

,, (Written by a loyal sophomore who ha~ closely followed the

pro~rress

of th., clau.)

When as a class of thirty-five the present sophomores graduated from the preparatory department it was said open ly by the faculty that it was the brightes~ and best class that had ever stepped out from that schooL As preps they had won honors both on the athletic field and in the class room. During the three years in prepdom all of the presidents of the preparatory department were t>lecteq from that class. In 1904 the number of this stalwart body of new freshmen was increased to seventy, all of them boys and girls who had the inter~st of the U niversity a:i heart and who would throw aside personal preference for the general uplifting of the institution. At the present time our class numbers fifty. In the past two years of college life our class has identified itself with every enterprise in the college and our record is a source of pride not only to the class but to our institution. In 1904 five of our men played on the Yarsity football team, three of them making the "All Northwest Team." In 1905 we had two players on the first team and they were a host. :Middleton, '07, is the captain elect for 1905. Seven of the class won their Varsity Baseball "f' in 1904- and this year's captain of the Varsity

team is a sopho,norc. In track, Larson, '07, holds the records of the college for the shot-put and five sophomores were on the team in 1904Âˇ The class football team won the annual game with the freshman class by a score of 10 to o. The inter-class basket-ball championship of the institution is held by the sophomores. The associate editor and the assistant business manager of the â&#x20AC;˘Âˇ .\rgonaut" for 1905-o6 arc members of the 'o7's. One man last year and another this year represented the t:niversity in intercollegiate debate. \\"e are also the heralds of many good customs. Last year we instituted a series of return receptions with the class at the \\'ashington State College, and we originated the annual sophomore frolic and the sophomore play. The sweaters and caps with the class numerals were inventions of the imaginative brain of one of our number. \Vc arc not perfect but we have every reason to be proud of our class and its achievements. L\t the same time we have always held tile interest of the institution in the highest regard. 1\ o class shows more enthusiasm or better supports intercollegiate contests, whether they be athletic, debate or oratorical, than does the class of '07. May no rust mar the beauty of our future, may it glitter and <>hine as the past. Auf Wiedersehen.

History of the Class of 1908 ,, The Freshmen have but the record of one year wh~n: by their position as a college class may be judged. Before this year, in Iligh Schools and .\cademies here and there, and the Preparatory Department, thC) worked and looked forward. But it is proper to regard those who came from the Preparatory Department as the nucleus of the class and to regard their record as a pn:lude to its collegiate career. Tf the promise of the prelude is carried out the 'o8 record will be all bright -with no word of reproach contained therein. For, as a preparatory organization, the class had brilliant representatives on every varsity athletic team, some of its members represented literary societies in inter-socidy debates, and to the Preparatory debating team, which won five victories out of !>ix contests, it furnished far more than its quota of members. At the beginning of the school year 1904-0S the preparatory graduates were joined by many new students from all over the state. Officers were duly elected, and the ball started rolling. \\'ith admirable philanthropy the class bought red paint and began to improve the color scheme of the city of :\roscow by dotting the ~idewalks and public edifices with the class numcrals. \\'hen football came around, the Freshmen were on the scene with their share of brawn for the \'arsity team, and the pace set there has been maintained in all the intercollegiate contests. St.

100

Patrick's day rolled round, and the Freshmen appeared in war moccasins to battle with ancient superstition,. â&#x20AC;˘\ncient superstition received a hard blow and gladly retired from the field of battle. The ball will keep rolling. It has a flying start and will gather momentum as it goes. \\'hen "Finis'' shall have been written to the record it will be one worthy of our Alma :\Tater's approval, if the promise of the Freshman year is fulfilled.

The Preps

,, ::\aturally in a )Otmg state wherein the common advantages of obtaining an education is handicapped by the scarcity of the so-called secondary schools, or high ;;chool:; and academics, throughout the state, the state institution known as the State L'niversity must for such a period of time as it shall require for the various districts of the state to establish necessary secondary schools supply this deficiency by conducting what is commonly known as a Preparatory Department. Such a department has been a part of the Cniversity since its fo~mding and it has thus far been impossible to discard it. Such a discarding is necessarily a siO\\ process. Only so fast as the secondary schools of the entire state are advanced to the position where the~ can meet the requirements for entrance to the college can the Cni\'ersity dispense with the preparatory school. IIowe\Âˇer this \\'Ork is progressing quite ~atisfactorily. The past year saw the beginning of the end of that department. The first year was abolished. \Vhen the entire department can be discontinued the L;niversity will have taken one of the greatest strides in advancement. ,\ most potent factor have been the preparatory stud<.:nts in the past. Their numbers until the present year have been equal to and have even exceeded those of the collegiate classes. Its members have taken an active part in the various student activities and much glory has been due to them. ;,.Totwithstanding all their achievements and the general love for the individuals of the preparatory department, a ll will be most jubilant when the state and the institution will have grown sufficient to render a preparatory department in connection with the University unnecessary. \V e all love the preps but we will love them more when they are no longer preps.

103

â&#x20AC;˘

Senior Preps ,.,. Jn the fall of 1902 what is now the senior preparatory class, entered the 'C'niversity as first year preps, with an insatiable thir~t for knowledge and a dauntless determination to be the "whole show.'' Their you:hful ardor was soon checked. A few collisions with the college students and :t few cold glances from their superior prep classmen convinced them that they wer<. very small fry. That year the preps were liberated from tf1e rigid rules of the 'Âˇbull pen,'' and they entered upon their freedom with reckless disregard for others, something which has always characterized newly liberated subjects of an autocracy. Tliere were no class parties or other festivals, but the entire department joined hands in an affair which has not yet been surpassed, and what is more to the point, all expenses were paid by a little less than a dozen levies-a feat which is yet to be equallecl. Half a dozen freshmen attempted to do things t:1at nighr, but were disuaded by a few kind words of advice from the preps. In their second year iess than half of the original class returned, but from e'â&#x20AC;˘ery quarter of the nation hastened volunteers eager to fill up the ranks of that noble class. During that year the separate class organizaticns were formed, class colors adopted and in other ways the brilliant examples oi the college were emu104

â&#x20AC;˘

Ia ted. The first social e\路cnt of the year was the 路路.\II prep Hallowe'en blow out'' held in the Club House. The first graft levied by the committee failed to raise more than a fraction of the necessary funds, and the rest of the season was devoted to raising the remainder. The class had two other parties that same year, both of them dismal failures. In the spring the rivalry between the different classes found vent in a senes of four games of baseball. Three of the victories fell to tlw junior preps. The third year saw the return of the greater part of the class of the previous year, together with several new members. At the very bt:ginning the class was divided into two hostile factions-the "ring" and the ''cia;;;;.'' The ''class" secured the first victory by electing the president. Then they dropped out of sight, and to this time has not re-appeared. The class of '09, plentifully bedecked with red and white ribbons. met at the Club House for its first party. They danced, played Ainch, drank punch, bored each other immensely and went home at I I :oo p. m. There was the usual run of "flunkers'' in the mid-ye::~r exams, so that when the books were examined at the beginning of the second semester it was found that with the good grace of the faculty-taking into account the revised graduation requirements-about thirty-three of the class would graduate. \Vhen this was learned the "ring" hastily met in room 63, elected speakers to represent them on the commencement program and adjourned before the "class" was aware of the transaction. 105

Junior Preparatory Class

,, The present second year preparatory class began its C:!recr in the Cniversity in the fall of 1903. when about eighty innocent faces appeared bdorc the Principal's desk and meekly applied for the admission which was to place them on the " royal road to learning."

Although a great many were residents of Moscow,

other parts of the state were duly represented. Class spirit has been a marked feature of this body e..er sine.: its earliest organization. Studies were never so pressing but that the honors of the class and of the college were amply upheld both in athletics and in literary activities. Xeither were social affairs neglected.

If any unusual disturbance was heard on a

10fi

Friday night it was a common saying among the sager upper-classmen that .. the first years must be having a party." \\'e were represented on the Yarsity football team bv one man, and three of our members won points for Idaho in the field meets.

\\' ~ maintained two liter-

ary societies, beginning with the second semester of th.! first year.

In these

weekly programs were rendered and a debate scheduled "ith the J\loscow lligh School. Such was the beginning of the present second year class, which, excepting those who failed to return and adding many new members. enrolled at the opening or the fall semester in T9Q-l. with a membership of about oue hundred.

.\!though

the lowest class in school we can boast of being the largest.numerically.and as some of the enthusiastic members would say, the best.

Be that as it may, it is not an

exaggeration to say that we have done our share in all student activities.

107

This

â&#x20AC;˘

year we were represented on the football team by three stars and one substitute of equal merit. Of the preparatory debaters chosen this year to contest with other institutions, five of the nine men were members of our class. fn the future we hope, through hard work and grim determination, to achieve a just share of fame and honor for our college and for ourselves, and to preserve the good will and fellowship which has always been prevalent in the class.

The Sweeny Debate Trophy

....

Recognizing the value of debate training. and de!iirin~ to stimuiate an interest in the work, 1\Ir. Charles Sweeny, Jr., of Spokane, has donated to the interest of debate a magnificent silver loving cup.

The Rh odes Scholarship to Oxford Perhaps one of the greatest honors and privileges that can fall to the lot of au •\merican ~t u dcnt is the opportunity of representing his state in the congregation of . \mcrican students whose fortune it is to be attending Oxford University as recipients of the Rhodes Scholarship to that in~titution. By the will of the late Cecil Rhodes each state in the United States is given two rcpresentati vcs e\'cry three years, the recipient of the scholarship receiving fifteen hundred diJilars annually for a period of three years. The l"ni,·ersity of Idaho. being the only collegiate institution in the state, has the special pri\'ilege of naming these two recipients. This fact should attract and is attracting many students to the Cni,·ersit) and in the course of a few years the attendance to the classic department should be materially increased. The pri\'ilege of being the .\merican representative to the great English mstitution carries with it certain duties which the student owes to the state from '' 11ich he is selected. By his conduct is the character of the inhabitants of the state itself going to be judged by the citizens of England with whom he comes in contact. It therefore behooYes the recipient always to conduct himself in an honorable, Christian-like manner that will tend to elevate 111 the eyes of the Briton the character of the American people and institutions. The duties and responsibilities of the recipient of the Rhodes Scholarship arc great, but the pr ize is also a magnificent one, and worthy of the best efforts ailCl abilities of the aspirant. The scholarship is still an innovation, but a lready its worth is being appreciated. Contestants arc striving for it. To be a receiver of the Ox ford Scholarship is one of the crowning glories of the student's perseverance.

Representative to Oxford

,.,. Lawrence LI. Gipson, the first recipient of the Rhodes Scholarship from Idaho, was horn in Creelcy, Colorado, in 188o. Ilis life from early childhood was, however, spent in Idaho. In 1899 he entered the Cniver~ity as a freshman, and. though compelled to struggle against many difficulties. he pcr~e,•ercd and at last won success. I lis cour~e in college wa~ in Economics and the Clas~ics. Be~ides the regular work of the curriculum, he took an active part in the student enterprises. In hi!> junior year he was chosen to represent the ·cniYcrsity in the Intercolk·giate Oratorical Contest. lie did some writing for the college paper and took part in track work, ha,·ing rc.'presented the L' niversity in the distance n.ce~. 1k was an energetic worker in the Young ).len's Christian •\ssociation and ''a~ t\\ icc a member of the delegation to the Gearheart conferences. The year after graduation, 1903-'04, he was emplo) cd as a tutor in the preparatory department, and at the same time he pursued his studies along the line of the requirements for entrance to Oxford.

Young Men's Christian A ssociation The Young :\len's Christian Association, forming th~: center of the Christian work in the Cniversit_y, was organized in •8<JS· In ib early history it met \\ith many discouragements, due largely to the tach. of und ~ ··~tanding of the hrmt<: foundation and principles of the Y. l\L C .. \. work. 'l'o attain knowledgt• re quired years of study and persistent effort. Until 1<)03 t11L annual conference was held only at Forest Cnwe, California. The expenses for such a trip mad~: it impossible to send more than one delegate. Thus tlw instruction <:.o needful to th~· upbuilding of the association was slowly acquired. In 19J3. however, a regular ~.nnual conference for the :\orthwest was instituted at Gearheart. Oregon. Thi s has enabled the association to send larger delegations. The c .nference lash ten days. In this brief time men are taught systematically the broad and practical principles of Christianity upon \\·hich the association is toundeJ . \mong tht• leaders at these conferences are men of national repute. \\"ith a number of students instructed and inspired by such leaders the work in the institution has hecn very encou raging. Notwithstanding the many difficulties encountered, the work hac; constantly gro" n, and the present year has seen a marked increase in the membership. There are now thirty-five active members and many associates. Regular meetings an.· held every Sunday, at which either addre~ses <He given hy members of the faculty or other prominent men, or the member:; hold a general discussion of the problems confronting the association. The Bible Stud) is a large and important feature of the work. .\bout sixty men are now enrolled in the various classes wh1ch arc conducted by students and facu lty. The system of group classes, meeting at difTcrent times and places. nas proved a success. Besides the regular religious work conductt·d hy the association, it performs many philanthropic deeds which are of benefit to the ~tmknts of the University. Among these may be mentioned the establishment and nnintenance of the Y. ;\I. C. A. rest room, and the publication of the annual handbook which contains much useful information about the Cniversity. That the work of the Young ~len's Chn;..tian .\ssocation is appreciated is shown by the co-operation of both faculty and student bod}, in the undertaking•.

The Y. W. C. A. The Young Women's Christian Association is one of the 1110..,t important of the numerous student organizaticns and wields an influence upon the lives of the girls in the University which is by no means inconsiderable. The Pacific Coast secretary, l\Iiss Louise Shields, visited the local organization during the beginning of the present year and inspired the members with new idea~. higher ideals and greater zeal for the work of such un association of young women. Devotional meetings arc held once a week during the noon hour. Because of the short time available for these meetings, they arc confined to very brief studies of certain assigned subjects. Though short, they ;~rc of exceeding benefit to the members and tend to draw the girls closer together in this spiritual work. There arc three Bible study classes this year; one in the "Life of Christ," another in 路'Old Testament Characters," and a third in "The Acts and Epistles." These are g raded and the courses in "Old Testament Characters" and "The Acts and Epistles" pre-suppose a study of the "Life of Christ.'' All who have had no previous study arc assigned to this course; those who have had that may enter either of the other two courses. It is the custom of the association to send one or more <k'lcgatc:; to the annual Y. W. C. A. conference which is held at Capitola, California. The inspiration which the delegates bring back and the renewed impetus given to the work in the college more than repays for the effort required to send these delegates. The present membership is a considerable increase over that of last year. There are now twenty-eight active, seventeen associate and twelve honorary members. The Association Room has been more completely furnished and fitted out as a rest room for all of the girls of the University. !'{cw girls arc welcomed and made to feel at home.

ORATORY

Literary Societies In the University are two thriving literary societie::.. These endeavor to cultivate the literary talents of the students and strive to give a greater foundation to the education of the individual by developing those qualities which arc not greatly influenced by the regular routine of the class wom. By miscellaneous weekly programs, including regular debates, opportunity i~ given to acquire the science of independent and original investigation, the power of accurate logical reasoning ard the art of expressing intelligently the thougbts thus acquired. Social relations are also impro\'ed. Frequently some social function is given under the auspices of one of the societies and in this way the members arc drawn agreeably together in pleasant intercourse. These functions, however, are not allowed to overshadow the object of prime importance in tl•c li fc of a literar) society-the <levelopment of the literary talents of the indi\·icluals. For m(\ny years, during the minority of the societies, there wa~ a strong tendency to make the literary societies musical in their nature. but as the college grew and the importance of the literary training was more fully appreciated the societies maintained their true characteristic. Unti l the year 1903-'o4 the two societies admitted girls to membership. But now, by tacit understanding, they are not permitted to become members of either the Websterian or Amphictyon Societies. This exclusion docs not express a lack of literary ability in the fair co-eds, but signifies a desire, on the part of the two societies, that the girls organize literary societies whose membership shall be restricted to the girls.

149

OFf'JCERS WEBSTERIAN LITERARY SOCIETY

W ebsterian Society Though it is the younger of the two societies the vV ebsterian Society is by no means the lesser. For three years it conducted the only intercollegiate debates of the institution-those with Whitman College. Among its members have been some of the best literary men of the University--debaters and orators. Of the five contests for the l leyburn Prize this society has won three, three of the four debates for the Sweeney Trophy have been \Vebsterian victories and three of the five prizes awarded to the leaders of the intercollegiate debate teams have fallen to its members. Such an ideal as \Vebster cannot but inspire the Plembcrs to noteworthy achievements and its deeds are such as to render the society worth~ of the illustrious name which it bears.

UNiVERSITY BAND

The U niversity Band The l 'niversity Band was onranized in 1901 with Cm Turley a~ manager and H. C. Tilley a~ director. To the earnestness and the perse,·~rance of the promoters is dur, in a luge mea~ure, the credit of bringing it to it~ \'resent high efficiency. The fin;t years of its existence were fraught with perils, 21~d many obstacles had to be overcome. Those days were painful enough wh..-n encountered and the memory of them could on ly cause unpleasant recollections. Suffice it to say that the numerous difficulties have all been successfully overcome and that at the present titHe the University of Idaho has a banu of which any college might well feel proud . . \ sit is a military band it is a necessary evil to the baualion and accompanies the battalion on all encampments. During the t'ncampments at \\'allace, in 1903· and at Lewiston, in 1904, the band receh·ed mo<;t favorable mention by <.·verybody. Since all go,·ernment inspecting officers have runarked that it is a credit to the Cniversity, there must be an element of truth in the as.;et tion and it is not immodest to say that the students of the Cniversity believe it to be the hest band in the state. In 1904, J. Ros~ Good succeeded to the directorship. l'nder his charge it has steadily grown and impro,·ed, until at the pre~ent time it is larger, and better trained than at any previous time in its history. :\IIDIB~RS

The University Orc hestra The orchestra composed entirely of l:nivcrsity studwt:; was organized in .Its existence has been coincident with that of the hand and its history has been somewhat the same-many difficulties awl discoura~ements had to be overcome during the first years of its life. But no less have been its successes than were its obstacles, for these have all been conquered and now the University Orchestra is the peer of any. Since the organization it has furnished th<: music for all of the University dances and other college social functions. Its service has ever deserved and received merit and praise from all. This year the orchestra lost one of its prominent members, H. C. Tilley, who had been leader and violinist since its organization. The loss was not suffered long, however, for vV. A. Young was secured as violinist and has given entire satisfaction. ]. Ross Goode has proved to be an efficient leader. 19(>1.

Philharmonic Club The Philharmonic Club, of which <>very student is a member, was organized in ,g94: and although it has not been active at all times it i;; at present in a flourishing condition. Its aim is to promote the musical interest of the institution in instrumental music esp<>cially. Regular study programs treating a particular subject at each meeting are given monthly. These have been of great benefit and a rc helping "the students to appreciate more fully the advantages of musical training. The club has direct superYision also of all recitals by musicians from abroad. By bringing to the college such talented performers as at times they arc enabled, the students are afforded the opportunity of hearing some of the best productions of the musical world rendered by artists.

The Cecilian Society Singers, like common people, work better after having- had a rest. The Cecil,ian Choral Society, which is one of the.oldest organizations in the college, had for some years been sleeping the sleep of the just; but one day, when the girls of the Glee Club were singing a stirr ing melody, the Choral Society suddenly awoke and announced itself ready for work. The society now numbers twenty-six young men and women whQ 1-tave joined for the mere pleasure of hearing themselves and their friends sing, and who believe that the most enjoyable music is really good and worth one's study. One peculiar feature of the Cecilian is that you join by inspir::tion, that is, you one day feel a longing to pour forth the emotions of your inmost soul in strains of sweet music and you forthwith go up to a Cecilian meeting. If you think there will be an opportunity to have your voice tested, to t<'il under what masters you have studied, you are mistaken; instead, you arc sin1ply asked to sign the constitution. The idea is that everybody desiring to become a member of the society labors under the horrible delusion that he can sing; and since every other member has joined under the same conditions nobody considers himself competent to judge another's taste or ability. Besides the mere singing of songs the members of tloe society Hatter themselves, that they study what they arc pleased to call voice culture. Under the direction of Prof. I. ]. Cogswell they have progressed sufficiently to sing such classics as:

mi, mi, re, do, do, re, re, mi, re, do, sol, sol, fa, mi, mi, re, do, re, mi, do.

The Mandolin Club The present year has been one of progression. Especially has this been true in the case of musical organizations. It has not been enough that the year should see the existi ng orgahizations reach a state of perfection; to view the resurrection of se\'cral defunct clubs. :\ cw musical societies have been organized. X ot least. though youngest. among these was the :\Iandolin Club. Though onl) a few months of age it is a thriving society. The strength may be gained in some degree from the fact that the organization is not a de-mocracy but a monarchy partaking of the principles of a despotism. Ask about its officers! It has none. \Vhat kind of a constitution? !\gain it bas none. There is one member, the organizer. if truly a club brought together as this one can be said to have had an organizer, who is sole director of the destinies of the ~Iandolin Club. \\'hen monarchs are not tyrannical, monarchies may be conducive to the greatest development and stability. Such has been exemplified in the instance of the new society. Everything operates in perfect accord with every other par t and there is the best of harmony, socially, politically and musically.

The Girls' Glee Club .\fter a long silence the Glee Club has given evidence of renewed life. At first the pessimistic, who are always talking in afTecting phrases of "the good old times," were inclined to believe the club was only moaning in its sleep, or perliaps sighing out its last breaths; and they would tell us of the emotions which were wont to stir their souls when the girls warbled ··Kentucky Babe." But now the most skeptical, chancing to be in the neighborhood of the Auditorium on certain days in the week, are bound to admit that the girls of the club of T90S can twitter as sweetly and roar as fiercely as did the damsels of long ago. Tf they attain renown it will be through the efforts of the director, 1V[iss Susan Pierce, whose ears have suffered many martyrdoms in her patient training of the club.

Associated Students of the l Jniversity of Idaho Until the bc.(\"inning of the second semester of th<: \'l'ar 190,) 'o-1- the diiTcrent student activities of the Un iversity were managed b.\' ~eparat<.' organizations. Athletics was managed by the Athletic Association, Debate and Oratory by the Debate Council, 'l'rtr·: UNI\'E:RSI'I'Y 1\RGONAL''I' by the Argonaut .-\ssociation. There was little feeling of unity between the different interests and it was felt that some means must he employed whereby the conflicting intere.;ts should he brought together, and that each student should be made to feel that he must support every branch of student activity. To this end. at the beginning of the second s~:mester o f tlw past scholastic year, there was organized what is known as the .\s<;o<:iatcd Stuclenb of the l'niversity. This organization controls every Lranch of :-tu<knt actiYity. The A.thletic Board. which has direct control of tl•e athktic inten•sts: the Debate Council. which controls del-ates and oratorical e\·ents, tlw .\rgonaut Staff. which direct<; the college paper, are each directly n•sponsibk to the .\ssociated Students. During the first semester of its organizati on. with the> exctption that to be a representative of the Pniversity in any intercollegiate contest rt•quircd mtmbership in the ,\. S. U. 1., the membership was voluntary. \\'ith the htginning of the year 19()-!--'os. however, the Board of Regents Ullpowen.•.l the registrar to collect, for the A. S. U. T., one dollar each semester from each ~tuderH n:gi~tering at the Uf1'iversity. 1\ccordingly every registered student is now a nwmher of the Associated Students of the University of Idaho. The success of this body is assured. The object for which it was organi zed is being attained. Each student is coming to feel that he is dirt'<:tly wncerned with all of the student enterprises, and he therefore k·nds his hearty moral and financial support. 'I'he result is that the past heavy debts are being fa~t ohli tcrattd. and before another year will have passed it is safe to say tha~ where tlterc was formerly a deficit there will be a surplus.

The year 1898-'99 saw the birth of the college paper which wa:> christened Tm~ UNIVERSITY ARGONAUT, the Searcher of the Golden Fleece. The paper was founded amid difficulties, the undertaking was an innovation, the institution was small, but despite the many hindrances the sagacity of the founders aeated and developed a college sheet that has grown and impro' ed until now it is the peer of any college weekly in the Xorthwest. It is the offic•al organ of the student body, the representative of the University life and in a large measure it is the criterion by which is judged the character of the in~titution and th~ students who attend it.

175

t\n organization of no mean importance among the student bodies of the tJni,·crsity of Idaho is the Debate Council. True, this bocly has had various un~cemly epithets. such as "the howlers" and "the wind jammers" lturled at them. \\"hy this should be is not so easily understood. Certain it is that the members, some of them, do considerable talking: perhaps also the body as an o rganization docs a goodly amount of ventilating: but what ill or e,•il clocs that portend? The body was organized for the express purpose of managing- affairs which relate in large measure to "talk." Then it is only natural that the organization shou ld be constrained to exercise the faculties of speech occasionally. H owever this all may be the facts still remain. They <He quite contrary to the l•romise that talk overshadows work in the Debate Counc!l. T o this o rganization falls the most important duties devolving upon the students in their relations wtth other institutions. All Debate and O ratorical dealings with the universities and colleges of the surrounding districts requi re tl1e attention of the Debate Council. 'l'hat its duties are not neglected is evinced by the cmmincnt manner in which the relations with other in stitutions arc conducted. Four aunual intercollegiate debates and two intercollegiate orato rical contests are arranged and conducted by this body. ln addition it has direct supervision of the disposition of three cash prizes of twenty-five dollars each. T en members constitute the council. Xine arc elected from the collegiate department, by the members of the Associated Students of the University of Idaho. The other member is chosen from the faculty.

:\'aturally in a college, which has attained the size of tl •e Cniversity of Idaho, athletics is an important function of the ~tucknt activitie:-. This ha~ especially hecn true 111 the history of the Yarsity. If other thing~ may have been some\\·hat retarded in their growth, such has not been the case '' ith the athletic sports. The general supen·ision of athletics therefore requi: es some marked attention: This ha~ been vested in the .\thletic Board. This board has general supervision of all matters pe1taining to the department of athletics and has direct control of all contests with other colleges. ~Ian agers of the various departments of athletics arc appointed by the board and a re directly responsible to it for any obligations incurred. The board, in turn, is directly accountable to the A. S. U. 1. through the Executive Committee of that body. By this means the students may learn of all the transactions of the board and the several managers of the various departments of athletics. The •\thletic Board is composed of eight members-one from each of the collegiate classes, one from the preparatory department, one.. from the faculty and two from the collegiate department at large. The four d;.ss representatives, the faculty representative and the member from the preparatory department are elected

by their respecti,·e classes and departments. Thl! two members from the collegiate department at large are elected by the board itself.

Military Ball The first Annual ~lilitary Ball which was given on 1he eve of February 21, was beyond doubt the most notable function of its kind in the history of the institution. '!'he guests numbered several hundred. Over two hundred couples participated in the Crall(! !\larch and about three hundred spectators were stationed in the balcony. The decorations were beautiful and very appropriate. ?\umbcrless flags adorned the walls and many yards of路 bunting streamed from the huge beams. Stacked arms and a tent in one corner where punch was served throughout the .-vt ning added much to the military aspect. .\n . \merican eagle, resting on the tattered and torn battalion Aag. was poised in the cenk,路 of the hall. .\ large .. Idaho" in the L'niversity colors, yellow and white, met the gaze of ever~ body as he entered the room. The l,'niversity band entertained the assemblage with a few ~elections. after which. promptly at nine o'clock. the bugle corps sounded ". \ssembl~ 路路 and the grand march was begun. This was lead by :\[n,. Chrisman and General \'ickers. :\f rs. \'ickers and Captain Chrisman followeJ next. Then in order came the Idaho officers and patronesses. followed by the \\'. S. C. vfficers and the ~uests. The state!) march ended in the dreamy strains of a waltz. From then until morning all was jollity: nothing could be heard save the dream~ strains of the orchestra, the tripping of merry feet and the laughter of sweet voices. i\ fter eleven o'clock refreshments were served in the basement. All evening punch was available at three posts in the hall. and these were not slighted. There was nothing to mar the success of the event. l~veryone was gay and happy, and enjoyed beyond measure the first :\ lilitary Ball of the Llniversity of Jdaho, in the new Armory and Gymnasium.

Senior Ball !IW!IW

It is fitting that the last social event of the year should be the Senior Ball. After the ''exams" are ever and everyone is joyous that va~ation is at hand-then all cares and trials should be forgotten, anq it is only natural that these should be drowned in the whirl of the dance given by students who are about to enter upon life's more strenuous duties. Even the sad thought th~t the class, which has made itself wdcared to all during its career in college, is going to leave forever is put aside till the morrow. The seniors of '04 under whose auspice.3 was given the last Senior Ball, proved themselves to be royal entertainers. The music was enticing; the punch refreshing; and the luncheon dainty and delicious. The event was one long to le remembered by all who had the good fortun~ to be prestnt, and it caused them to look forward with eager anticipation to the coming ball of the 'os's. PATRONESSES. ~Irs.

The Junior Prom On the 17th of ~farch, the class of 'oG cciebrated that great event of their junior year-the Prom. It has formerly been the custom to have this event just before the Christmas holidays but this year it wa::. postponed in order that it might be given in the new Armory and Gymnasium. The expected function occurred on the eve of St. Patrick's birthday and proved to b~ all the more enjoyable for the delay. The hall was beautifully and artistically decorated with the class colorspurple and white. A large 'oG on the outside of the blt:lding, above the door announced to all that the juniors had control of the gym for the time. On the inside another larger 'o6 met the gaze of everybody as he <.ntered the room. The floor was in excellent condition for th< dance and the music more than could have been anticipated. The only feature not entirety satisfactory was the lack of a large number to enjoy the promenade. Punch was served by little girls. and, needless to say, they were not idle. A dt>licious lunch was prepared and at midnight the dancer:; descended to the basement to partake of the bounteous spread. After lunch the dancing continued until the early hours of dawn. The juniors have always been a studious cla:;s and have devoted very little time to social affairs, but the Prom revealed the ability of the class to entertain. PATROXESSf.S. ~Irs.

Sophomore Frolic A new social function of the sophomore class was introduced during the present year. This was the sophomore frolic. 'fhe first annual frolic was given at thP \.lub House on the evening of December To, 1904, under the auspices of the sophomore class. That the 'o7's had spent much time and work on the decorations could be plainly seen as one entered the hall, which look<·d (a;; man) avowed) better than it ever had before. The colors, Yale blue and gold, were found in every nook and comer and bedecked everything. Entertainment and refreshments were the main features of the first frolic. Everybody was pleased with the e\'ening's jollity. The faithful and persistent work of the committees was in a large measure responsible for the success of the event. It remains with the class of 1908 to continue the frolic and equal the success of the last. CoMMITT~~s.

Freshman Glee t\lthough the social life of the Cniversity is one of progressiveness ther<' has never yet been held as one of the regular social functions of the freshman class, tl~e Glee. This year the Sophomore Frolic was introduced

by the class o f 1907. It was also hoped that the youngest class of the college would make itself famou s by an innovation.

l\lany times the class has considered the proposition of giving the Glee and have always seemed favorable but they have. through some cause, failed to have the decision necessary to set the machinery in motion for the culmination of the function. i\lany rumors, and they are apparently wdl founded, have spread abroad to the effect that before the end of the year, sometime between .\pril 15 and July 4 the Freshmen Glee, 'o8 will be a thing of history. The class is one of immense ability to achieYc wonders if it can only get the start. J f, therefore, the Glee once becomes started, all may expect an affair which will eclipse an) thing ever before seen at the Cniversity. Since all the other classes are accorded the privilcg<' of holding, without fear of interruption from the other students, an annual class function which partakes of the nature of a college event it is only fitting that the class just entering the U niversity should be given the same privilege. It is also fitting that this event should occur as early in the year as is convenient, in order that then strangers might make known to the rest of the college just what sociabi lity they possess. 'l'he Freshman Glee can not possibly evade the U niversity of Idaho much longer. Rational predictions would prophesy that the next G1~111 Ofo' 'I' Ill路: l\lotl NTAI N will be able to record the event as it actually occurs; a prediction not too vague to be capable of fulfillment, might place the date of the Glee before this commencement.

A \Vord of Encouragement There are songs Who failed Who gave their And gave it

enough for the boys in gray on the battle plain, life for their country. all in vain.

But midst all the bards and poets vVho sing of the deeds of man I find not one song of prai~e for him Who failed in a final exam. There are songs of bucking bronchos In the wild and woolly weFt, But where is the song of him who mu-.t Always ''buck up" for 3. test? There are songs galore of skiprers, Of skippers brave and bold. How they guide their barks o'er the billowy sea Full many a tale is told. But in all the tales of adventure Told about lad or lass There's never a word in honor of him Who fearlessly skips a class . . But cheer up ye flun~~rs and skippers, Your reward is drawing ncar; Very soon you will have notice T hat you are not needed here. Then you'll have a long vat:ation With no stern profs to fear. No more flunking, no more cutting, For there'll be no classes there.

Inter-State Oratorical Contest During the year 1901-'o2 was instituted the lntcr-state Oratorical Contest which arc represented the universities of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. As a stimulus to this contest the Bar .\ssociation of Kin!{ County, \\'ashington, annually offers a cash prize of one hundred dollars, of wilich seventy-five dollars is awarded to the winner of the contest and the remainder twenty-five dollars is gi,·cn to the one making second place. In none of the three contests thus far held has Idai10 been victorious. The contests ha,•e, howe\·er, been exceedingly clo:-e and \'ictory is certain to perch upon the banner of the Gem state institution soon.

Athletics It is a well-known fact that a Colkg-e or L'niversity without an athletic association i::. looked down upon with scorn and ah10st contempt. \\'hat young man or ho~ with any life in him will not choose a ...chool where athletics is gi\路en some attention? The 1110ment he enters the colleg-e the quc:>tion is put: \\'hat can he do? \\"hat is his record in athletics? \ \' e believe that the will power and quick decision necessary upon the athletic field are force., necessary in contact with the dutie,; of men after colleg-e life. -\ thlctics has played no small part in raising- our L'Pi\路crsity to its present standard. Our foot-ball teams have broug-ht many honors to tlJ(,; Cni\路ersity. not only by winning- \'ictories. but by their conduct off the field as \'.elL \Vhat can be said of our foot-ball teams will also apply to our ba~e-ball, track, and basket-ball teams.

The end of the season of the year, 1903, gave promise of an unusually strong football team for 1~)04, owing to the probable return of most of the former eleven -a promise that was not fulfilled at the beginning of school. The fall practice began with onl) Captain .\Iiller. Snow, Larson and C. Smith as experienced players. Tht•se were joined later by Rogers, Sheridan and :.\[iddleton. all of whom were old players of the 1903 team. Coach ]. G. Griffitl1 had the ad\'antage of acquaintance with the old men, and also with the conditiv••s of Idaho, but O\\ ing to the lack of preliminary games, our team was not in the Lest physical condition. \\'hat it needed during the last season more than anything else w<is hard work in practice games. There was also running through the game~ an clement of what some would term "hard luck.'' The loyal sportsman, who supports the game for its good feltures, asks not that the team win every contest, for occasionaliy it must loose, but he docs exp<..-ct that the eleven do its best-that every man shall do his part well. Such an cnc may feel proud of the team of 1904. The contests with the \Vashington State College :::nd with the lJniversity of \\'ashington were as fine examples of good football with determination and good hard work, as has ever been seen in the ~orthwt•st. The season has been marked by clean sport, free from dissension, with a team showing the right spirit, both in victory and in defeat. 'l'hc petty bickcrings and personal jealousies that so often handicap u team Ita vc been lacking. The outlook for next season seems quite favorable since Capram :\filler, who has always been a host, is the only man leaving the Univcn,ity by graduation, and a number of the new men will show a decided improvement in another ) car. fhe captain elect of the team of 1905 is J R. :.\Iiddleton, who has now had the experience of two years on the eleven. His election promises another year of harmony among the men of the team.

C. it is seen that the honor:. are about equally divided between the two ~chook Our first game with ou r neighbor institution was pia yed in 1&)4. at :\I oscow, and was won by the visitors h) a score of 10 too. In 1895 a game wa~ played in Pullman. \Y. S. C. made 10, Idaho 6. In 1896 and '97 no agreement ..:ould be reached. Jn 1898 a game was arranged to be played in ~loscow, but a dispute aro.;e on the field over the personnel of ot:r t<.'am, and our guests rdu:-l'd to play. \\'. S. C. took the game in 1 &)9 by a score of 1o too. In 1900 arrangements could not be made for a game. In 19()1, at Moscow, Idaho, after four attempt-;, won for tl.e first time by a score o f 5 too. Jn 1902, history re verted: \V . •\. C., 17: Idaho, o. In 1903 the teams representing the two sthools met in l\loscow for their annual game. \V. S. C. came, confident of winning, and the ldaho boys m.1rched upon the field with the grim determination to win if it was in them to do so. lt was evident from the first that the Idaho men had the spirit in them to win-a thing that counts for fully as much in football as strength. . \ t the end of the first half Idaho had scored 2 r. and in the second :1alf, with se\en minute::; left to play the score read: Idaho, 32; \\'. S. C., o. The team from Pullman was g-ame throughout, and the rooters never deserted thtir colors, but it was all in ,·ain. :llG

In 1904, Idaho went over to Pullman, and there played her first game of the season. The men went on the field in poor physical condition, but in good spirits to win, and win they did in what is said to have been the hardest fought football contest ever played in the Tnland Empire. :\ll gains, with but few exceptions, were made thro ugh the line. Tdaho, after having carried the ball 130 yards, laid it behind the goal line for the first and only score of the game. Both teams showed a lack of team work in this contest. A large amount of fumbling of \ V. S. C. was due to Snow's work in breaking through the 1;ne and interfering with the passing of the ball. Every Idaho man w2s in the game from start to finish. It seems that this defeat was the hardest oi any fo r \V. S . C. and P ullman to take, but it is hoped that they will be able to take defeat gracefully in 1905. Idaho's sons we are p roud to be In keen defeat or victory.

Whitman- Idaho The games of the past two years bet ween \ \'hitman and Tdaho show that Idaho has chang-ed her mind, and think it no longer necessary fo: her to let the ::-core i;c in favor of \\'hitman. Our first game with \\'hitman was in rSg; and was won by \\'hitman by a score of 16 to 6. In 1900 no game was played, but again, in 19(>1, \\'hitman .:amt to :.\loscow and won. Score: 10 too. The game in the fall of 1902 was played at \\'alia \\'alia, and \\'hitman took this game also, bettering their score of the previous year by 6 points. In 1903 the \\'hitman team came to :.\Ioscow with a fast, gritt) tea,n, but could do nothing with Idaho from the start. They ne\'er ga\'e up. although the) knew there was no -;how for them. In the first half Idaho made 18 points and was able to double this score during the second part of the contest. Idaho pla)cd eleven stars throughout this game and all were in even play for all they were worth. :.\licld made six straight goals in this game. lt was a perfectly clean game throughout, and had the fie ld not been covered '' iLh sev,•ral inches of snow the score might have been more one sided than it was. Jn HJO..J., Idaho went to \Valla \\'alia with a crippled team, having played in Seattle the week before. Their field was cov<'red by about two inches of du5t and after every down so much dust was in the air that the teams could not be seen from the sidelines. The game opened and Idaho had a touchdown on the :,;econcl play. Two mon: were ·vlded during th-= first half and one in the second half making a t..,tal of 21 to o. Some of the Idaho boys learned after the game that it was easier for them l\) break away from the \\'hitman football team than it "as to "break away'' from the Whitman girls.

May the friendly feeling that now exists .between the two ~;chools continue to grow, and lrt every athlete, who goes against Whitman, for Idaho, feel that they are in a contest with a school whose teams arc noted for their manlinc~s. ScoRES. \\'HlT~lAX

On the whole, the fielding was excellent, hut the batting was weak. The position of catcher was seriously crippled by ~lcf'arland's retirement, bu't Calloway, whose enthusiasm for the team never flagg~d. filled the break with remarkable succcs:-. In the box ::\liddleton loomed up in the front rank of college pitchers, and his work against Spokane was phenomenal. ~Iiiier, too, though handicapped h) a weak shoulder. pitched good ball, especially in the second \\'.

Basket Ball Basket ball, up to this time, has hardly been more than a name at the University. The principal difficulty has been, of course, the lack of a place to practice; but that has now been obviated and another year may find great things accomplished by those interested. The first mterest in basket ball was taken by the girls as a feature of the physical training pursued in the lJniyersity by the Physical Tra1ning .\ssociation. This as:.ociation organized classes in club-swinging, dum-bell exercises and aesthetic dancing, and gave a home talent farce. \\'ith the proceeds apparatus for basket ball was purchased and the game, though much handicapped b) the need of quarters and instruction, was practiced on the lawn near the Horticultural Building. ~Iany were the .. scratch" games played between the girls of the various classes of the Cniversity, but all records of them haYe long since been lost. The Preparatory Department had two teams, one from each the second and third year classes. The college had what they chose to call a first team, but its superiority was not established for the deciding game was unexpectedly interrupted by the weather god. This year no intercollegiate games could be arranged, because, until the gym was completed there was no opportunity to put teams in !>hape. Since the completion of the gymnasium there have been a series of inter-class games for the college championship among the boys. This was won by the sophomores. The girls have been perfecting plans for permanent organization of teams for next year and have been practicing with that end in view. Next year it is expected that Idaho will be in a position to accept challenges from tbe neighboring schools.

An Incident (A PRIZE S'I'OI~Y.)

Somt' tlll't'r ) car!' ago I was working witl1 a party of governnwnt l'nginccrs locating reservoir sites on the headwaters of the Snake river. \Vc had been working all summer in those high mountains which surr<'UIHI l lenry's Lake. and form the dividing line between ldaho and ~lantana. \\'e had located many reservoir sitb. and \\ere just preparing to return to St. \nthon: and to ci,·ilization. whtn \\t' \n:rt.' informed by a sheep herder that there was an excellent site located on Fish Fork. "Jest over the ridge,'' as he phrased it. So wt' turned our hack~ on St. .\nthon: and ::;tarted for Fish Fork. It took us the ht.'lter part of two da: ~ to gt•t in sight of our destination. but finally the trail kd out on a spur of tht• mountain wherl' we could look down into the valley hdow us. lt wa-; as k•n-1 a>- a floor. and coYered with gra~,. and a few patche:o. of pine timhcr. Fish Fork ran. with mall\· a twist and turn. from one end to the other, finally disappearin~ in a dt•ep cat;yon far down to our lcit. \t the upptr end of the Yalk: we could di~cern a little cabin surrounded by a small plot of cultiYattd ground. hm nTrything "as deserted as far as we could ~ee. \\ c :-;toocl looking down into the Yalley for a time, hut finall: the t•ngineer in chargt• ...aid to mt'. "I guess we'll camp at that cabin tonight. If you and Jim." referring to the cook, "will take the pack horst':>. Tom and T will rid<.' d<H\ n to the mouth of the canyon and sec what kind of a proposition \\'l' have for a dam site." The cook and I started out for the cabin. \\"e had hct'n traveling- for about an hour. and \\l're getting \\ell down into the valley. when. just as Wl' were co.ning around a point of rocks. a voice hailed us. saying. ''llold on a minutt• will )Oll ?'' \\'(.' ~topped and Jookt'd up just in time to see a girl with a \\'incht'ster in her hands. slidt• off a rock into the trail ahead. and start towards us. :\ow the sight of a woman o f any kind would have been a treat to us. as the last one "e had seen wa" when wt'.ldt St .. \nthony in early June: out this girl would have been good to look upon anywhere and at any time. \\'c simply stared at her as she came to\\'ards us on the trail. She appeared to take no notice of our stare.;, and optned tht• conversation by saying. "I suppose you arc some more of the Sparks outfit. :\ow vou know what I told the last bunch of vou that \\Crl' in here. and I meant it." .\ncl from all appearances she did mea~ it. for the muzzle of that \\'inchester was certainly swinging around in our dirt't·tion. I hastened to assure ht'r. however. that we did not belong to the Sparks outfit. \\ hate,·er that might ht'. hut were just plain ordinary men employt'd b~ tht' gon•rn·nent survey,

231

and not bandits or sheep herders, even if we did look it. ,\fter some argument she began to understand the situation, and said we might proceed. She finally asked where we intended to camp that night, and we told her that we would camp at the little cabin at the upper end of the valley, and that the rest of the party would join us there. ..\\.ell."' she said, "T guess that will be all right if father says so." \\' c said we hoped that Papa would see the matter right. and that there would be no difficulty about our camping. . \ fter traveling for about half an hour. we arrived at the cabin and made camp on the bank of the creek about a hundred yard:; below the little plot of ground. ,\ fter making camp I walked up to the cabin to make the acquaintance of the old gentleman who had the good fortune to be the father of so charming a daughter. 1 had paid but little attention to the slouch hat and short skirts of the girl, for her face and figure were too attractive, but with the old man it was different. His ·'make-up'' was startling to say the least. He was about six feet tall, and stood very straight; his hair was long and grey and lay in thin curls about his shoulders; he wore spectacles and had on buckskin pants and moccasins, such as you sec the Indians wear. and around his shoulders was thrown a big cloak co,·ered with brass buttons and patches of gold braid. evidently a military cloak of some kind. \\"hen he spoke it was with a German accent. lle invited me into the cabin. and I was greatly surprised to see that the walls were covered with books. lie began to question me closely in regard to our object in coming to the valley, but, as it was getting late, l could stay but a short time, and soon returned to camp. 1\fter supper the engineer in charge went up to visit the old man. Ile was gone for about an hour, and when he returned, he said, '·Boys! That old man and his daughter have been in this valley for ten years. He says that his name is Herr ~loltkc, and that he was a captain in the Prussian army, but was dismissed in disgrace by the Kaiser for duelling. I fe and his wife and their little daughter, Anna. came to .\merica about tweh·e years ago. but his wife died soon after landing. He drifted about with his little daughter, tr) ing different kinds of work until he finally :;ettled down as a trapper and hunter in this Yalley. 1lc claims this valley and the surrounding country as his private hunting grounds. but he is constantly bothered by the sheep men trying to dri,·e sheep in here. That is the reason why the girl stopped you on the trail this afternoon, she thought you were <>hccp men." During the following two weeks we became quite well acquainted with Anna and her father. \\' e found her very entertaining with her artless ways. She had been out of the valley only a few times during the past ten years, perhaps once or twice a rear. and then only as far as St. ,\nthonr or Idaho Falls, and consequently she was unlearned i1; the ways of the wo;ld. She was not. however, uneducated. her father's large library had been well used. and she could converse intelligent!) on any of the famous authors or their works. She was also an excellent shot. but her chief characteristic was her tender regard for her father. She was always trying to do something to please him. One morning after we had been there about two weeks. she and her father came past carrying their riAes, and told us that they were going up on the side of the mountain to look for elk. •\ s the weather was getting cloudy, we told them

232

to look out for a snow storm, and to get back early. They laughed, and ::;aid they would be back in time to take supper with us that e,·cning. ,\bout three o'clock that afternoon it began snowing a little; we quit work immediately and started for camp. \\'c were none too soon. Before we had covered half the distance, the storm had become a perfect blizzard, and we had great difficulty in getting to camp. That night none of u~ thought much about .\nna or llerr :\loltke. supposing them safe in their cabin. but the next morning when we got up it was snowing as hard as ever, and I thought I would go up to the cabin and sec how they were. By following the creek I managed to get to the cabin. [ knocked, but no one answered. I pushed the door open and entered. Xo one was there or had been there since the day before. \\'here were Anna and her father? 1 hastened back to camp and reported the state of affairs. \\' e held a consultation and decided that we could do nothing until the storm was over, and that even then a search would be almost useless. It kept snowing the rest of that day. The next morning, however, it was clear, but bitterly cold. \Ve started out on our search, agreeing to meet at camp again at noon and report our success. At noon we all met. but no one had found any trace of them. As soon as dinner was over we ;.tarted out again. I wandered off rather aimlessly, considering the search almost hopeless. A ftcr wading through the snow for some time I came to a bunch of pines which stood out alone on the level floor of the valley. L"ndcr the trees the snow was not nearly so deep, and as I walked along T thought to m~ self that if they could have got into a bunch of trees like this there would ha\'e been some chance for them. Just then I saw a queer looking snow drift under one of the trees. I ran towards it saw immediately that there was something under it. I began throwing the snow aside and found that "something" to be .\nna :\Ioltke with her back against the tree and her father's head in her lap. 1 took hold of her arm. but it was cold and rigid. I put my hand over her heart-there was no tremor. She was dead. I took hold of the old man·s hand. It was lifclc~s also, but when 1 put my hand 0\'Cr his heart I could feel a faint Hutter. I drt•w my revolver and fired three shots-the signal agreed upon-again. and again 1 fired. Then I started to kindle a fire that I might preserve the faint :;park of life yet in the old man. J hardly had a good fire going when the rest of the party arrived. \Ve began to work over the old man, and. to our surprise found that he was shot just below the knee, and that his leg was broken. lt was all plain to us now. The old man had wounded himself. Anna had tried to lead him home. and, when overtaken by the storm, had refused to leave him. \\'e worked over him for some two hours, rubbing his limbs with snow and endeavoring in every way to resuscitate him, but he regained consciousness only long enough to mutter a few times: "Go on child; go on. never mind me. Go on." lle was evidently thinking of 1\nna, and short!) before dark he died. It was a sad procession that wended its way to camp that night carrying all rhat remained of .\nna and her father. The next day we dug two graves in front of the cabin, and erected two rude crosses. On one we wrote, "She was all that a woman should be: Faithful and True." On the other, ''.\ child of misfortune, but blessed by Cod's best gift-a Faithful daughter.'' Ar.n~:RT :\1. :\kPHr·:I{SOX, 'o8.

The Power That Saved ( l'R!ZI·: S'I'OR\',)

Ba,cd upon the diarr of ,\, :11. :llcl'hcr,on, 13. E. ~1.. H. C. I•,., an <·ng•n<cr on the gcolngioal survey of the 1:-rcnch Soudan. \\hO, in the sumrner of '9'4' became lo ... t (rom his parly during one of the fre· CJ1H~nt great ... and!>.torms common to that region.

The impenetrable blackness of an . \ frican night slowly settled upon the desert. The great. boundless waste unmarked gave for the presence of an occasional boulder. stretched like a sea to the westward, while an intense stillness reigned supreme. Through the thickening gloom, with eyt•s upli ftecl to the dark canopy of clouds. as though seeking in their depths some faint star of guidance. staggered. with uneYen step. the figure of a man. His tattered clothing hanging about him like so many shreds. and his booties;. feet, torn and hkeding from a hundred ga,.he'. implied that he was in deep distress, ) ct with a determination that was only begotten by a Yague remembrance of the old spirit that was hi~ in college days. he trudged slowly onward. He stumbled. fell, rose to a sitting posture upon the boulder that was in his path. and realized in his great heart that he must give up. \\'ith a sigh of weariness he brushed the clishe\'clecllock:; from about his manly brow, and permitted his mind to wander in a sad rc,·erie. \·isions of home, of dear old Idaho. and of his . \!rna :\later came to him, and then hi~ heart grew warm with a loYe that had always been his; still ht• knew in that heart that he must die, that the course of hunger and thin•t must take its way at last. But hark! \ \ 'hat was that sound: that faint, dismal cry, echoing o'er the plain and reverberating through the calm, still quiet of the night? \\'as it a fancy of his, or,-but no, it could not be, for again he heard it and still again. It was the \\'ild, wierd cry of the savage hyena. the terror of the plain. l ie listened, and as the cries became more general. attempted to ri~c. shuddering within himself at the thought of \\'hat \\'as to be. He was helple!;s, and these midnight marauders of the plain, \\·ith tread as stealthy as the black night itself. !;]owly diminished the area of their circle of death. Xow he could sec their long. gaunt. fonm gliding here and there through the blackness. and again he ;.lmddered. yet he was ready. . \ minute passed which seemed as an age to him. and thcn-oh. heaven ; a roar like the booming of distant thunder: a roar that was unmistakable. and which he knew to be that of the kmg of all bea:-ts, seemed to shake the Yery earth,

234

and the gaunt. hungry forms fled. cheated of their human prey. whik man reckoned with lion for his life. . \nd now a thought flashed through the poor Iuckie~:; ~tranger"s mind. like a shaft of lightening. ··could he do it?'' .. \\'ould it he pos<.ible ?'' \c.:;. he thought. he must. He would make the mind do what he knew the body could not. Ht•memlwring-. in his old college days. how he had become king: how he had, by his great will and irrisistible hypnotic influence. can·it•d prep aft<:r prep by c;torm. he resolved. away out on that distant . \frican plain. to hypnoti7e this most noble. and yet most terrible of beasts. The great animal crouched low: his eyes of fire were met by two orbs that pierced the darkness with a g-lan• t•qually as fiery. and he trembled, hesitated. aware in his brutish mind of so:m• indefinable presence that awed him; he became powerless. and. lil~e a kitten, came purring up to his poor starving conqueror. who caressed him and smoothed his shaggy main. and who was conscious of a feeling within himself. that recalled the lines from The Tragedy of Faust: Take courage. :\aught is lost a» yet. Patience unties the hardest knot. Still sharpest is the final ~tand. :\Ty trusty messenger. I've got: Command me. that I may command. J\nd so the man "ith the beast standing guard pas>oed through tht• long night. The day. fast encroaching upon its silent neighbor. dawned at last. and >ooon the desert wa~; "rapped in all the Yaried brilliancy of an equatorial sunrise. The lion raised his massive head and sniffed the air from an ea~terl~ hn.•eze with a significant growl. Our hero peered. in the direction of the rising >otm. at a di~tant sand cloud. the proportions of which were increasing rapidly. "\\'ao.; it a caravan, or a hand of Ia wlcss . \rabs. that was approaching?.. thought he. \\'ith weary and longing gaze he watched the cloud slowly rise: speechless fro:n joy he hehrlcl the caravan, and he stood as one transfixed. ::\t•arer and ·~ean·r it drew. until the great even strides of thr camels could he JTadily distinguished. as tht'.Y ploughed their way through the sand: and then. heaven he praist•d! he recognized the towering form and grim visage of tht• foremost rider. lt \\as I Jcm·arcl. l ie heard a surly command given. and saw the rest of the troop lash their beasts for a quicker pace. while through the air came a cheer that reminded him of the old days; a cheer that he had heard on side line and gridiron during many a hard fought battle. and that was now valiant!; gi\'t•n by ~lorrow, Tony. Fogle and the others. Tht•y had ~earchcd for him for two long weeks. and now a~ they drew ncar, l•e cried for joy. and his faithful companion of the long night bounded awa~ to hi~ lair in the west.

A Try For Fame (I>IUZE S'I'ORY.)

''All you fellows be back aboard by six o'clock tonight," cautioned the mate as several of the crew and I trotted down the gang-plank from the bow of the Elder " I'," to take a farewell look at the old town before we set out on an almost mysterious voyage. Captain James Gray. the owner of the craft, and now a millionaire, had, years before, when only a sailor before the mast, observed certain signs in the southern seas which led him to believe that a large radius about the south pole was warm enough to be inhabited. Suppose his theory was correct? •\nd suppose a race of people. perhaps different from any of the known tribes on earth, inhabited this strange land? If they did exist, were they white or black. ci,·ilized or sa,·age? These questions had kept themselves so persistent!) before the mind of th.e sedate captain, that he resoh·ed. "for the ~ake of satisfying his curiosity,'' and, incidentally to make a name in history along side that of Columbus, to fit out a polar expedition, and lead it in person to "his'' new land. To this end was the staunch craft, the Elder .. K," built and equipped. And with this end in view did we sail from Stormy Ilead, on the sixteenth of August, in the year 1893. and steer south along the coast of Florida. across the Caribbean sea, sight the stormy coast of Brazil, and finally leave Cape I l orn far behind. Three weeks from the time of our sailing brought us in contact with the first silent outposts of that vast frozen region, which encircled the goal of our journey, with a seemingly impregnable barrier. lluge icebergs, towering like snow capped mountains, whose sides were forever changing their hue in the sunlight, blocked the ships passage. Each day our passage became more and more difficult. and with each new danger Captain Gray became more gra,·e and determined. "Peers like the Cap·n don't take time to eat nothing when I cook it.'' complained Sam, the darky cook, to me one day. Indeed none of us dared to relax our vigilance. for we were now in the very heart of the vast. dreary waste of broken icc that we were attempting a passage through. Sometimes gigantic icebergs. guided by some evil power, would close in on us, forcing the wedge-shaped hull of the ship entirely out of the water; and baffled in their attempt to crush us. would drift apart again and were soon lost among the multitude of their cold hearted brethren.

236

Thirteen days of watching and battling with the icc, found us all in an exhausted condition. Sam, the cook, was the only man who could smile; but his grin was hereditary. On the morning of the fourteenth clay we noticed that it was beginning to grow warmer: and b.' night we could easily note that the icc was becoming scarcer. \\'ere we really entering a temperate climate in the very heart of the frigid zone? \\'ould the Captain·~ theory pro,·e correct? E,·ery day's sailing indicated more and more that it would. \\'e were now in. an open sea whose climate grew warmer every cia~ a~ we drew nearer the pole. \\'e all dawned our summer clothes, and even then 1 was uncomfortably war'11. lh1t perhaps this was due to our having just emerged from a frozen region. Captain Cray became higlllY t.•latt.•d ag he began to realize the extent of his success. l~ '·cn the burnt beans which Sam served up one clay seemed to please him. The climate was growing intolerably hot and st.'cmed even more oppressive than at the equator. \\'e were beginning to think that "e were encountering a barrier in the shape of heat that would pro,·e more formidable than en~n the perils of the ice. Ten days we had .. ailt·d south since entering thi" warm belt. and it is thi-. tenth clay that I shall alway" rt.•mt.·mber. It wa;;. 0n this da~ that the keen eye of the captain. as he lookt.•d through hi.; glass. spied a promontory of land in the distance. Land ! .\nd a tropical c:limate at the south pole! , \ lrt·acly the gallant com'llatHltr pictured himself returned home, and hailed as a htro! Could great thinkers regard his achievement a~ other than a boon of vital importance to mankind? .\II was now excitement ahoard the Elder "1(". Four hour;; brought us so ncar to Janel that we could distinguish great. spreading trt•ts, and hills coyered \\ ith a growth of green. tropical wnlure. f "·as just imagining m~ self safely ashore and :-catecl under some friendly tree, when the matt.•s called out "ship ahead!" and tht· next moment a strangt'. grim looking craft. with smoking iunneb. and great frowning guns. slowly routH~d the point of land on cur k-it and ca:ne to anchor din·ctly in <'ur path. \\'<.> sht·erecl ofl· to the right to avoid a collision with it. \\'hat could it all mean? There was no signs of life Yisiblc aboard tht' newly <:i:;covered ship. which might give u~ a clue as to the nature of tht• inhabitants of this strange land. nor was there any flag afloat: hut the outlines of tht' \'essel plainly n.•prest·ntt·d a high state of ci,·ilization. Jn spite of our precarious position, should violence he directed against us. the Captain was beside himself" ith joy. ".\t la~t. .. be exclaimed. "·ith a wild jt•stllrt' of the hand. "at la~t I have pro,•ed my theory corrtct. and will publish it to a waiting world." lie ran to the cabin to get his glass that he might scrutinize his prize more clm;cly. and had just returned to m~ .. ide. "l'en a ;;winging motwn of the strange craft re\·ealed its how. \\'hat a c:1angt' came m·er the Captain's fact• ! He turned red. and then pall.'. and his gla!'s ahnt st slipped frcm his iimp hand into the sea! \\'hat had he discm·ered ~ I glanced t < ward the ship. and there 1 n her prow in broad letters.
